If there are any particular problems identified we then make whichever arrangements are necessary to address them. We also update members on a number of long-term environmental works and give prior notice of upcoming works in the parish area.
As a result of the latest meeting we raised the following matters with the relevant sections at county hall this morning:
- Potholes in the road surface at Hardwick Street and Glenholme Terrace, Blackhall (on the A1086 Coast Road between Cemetery Road and St Joseph’s)
- Damaged street lighting column at the B1281 junction with the Kenber Hill housing estate
- Overgrown grass at the B1281 junction to Gray Avenue at Hesleden which is restricting visibility for drivers leaving the village
- Waste timber dumped behind the bus stop at Thornton Terrace, Blackhall
- Poor condition of the footpaths at Corry Close, Blackhall
- Food waste dumped in the rear yard of 2 Coast Road, Blackhall. There is a background to this property logged on the CRM but there is some confusion about the status of requests to clear the yard (which is a private property)
- Untidy condition of the grassed area, roads and pathways around Primrose Court, Blackhall. This is apparently caused by wheeled bins being dragged around the area on collection days. Residents have requested a bin storage area (which may be the responsibility of EDH/CDHG)
- The untidy condition of the car parking area to the rear of Daffodil Close, Blackhall (previously reported, but no feedback received)
- Road junction markings at the RAFA/Co-op store (works previously requested but not yet carried out)
We will update on any significant developments in relation to these matters as and when we receive further information from the county council. In the meantime however, if you are aware of any particular issues in your neighbourhood please let us know.
